The Craigavon Area Plan 2010, adopted in August 2004, provides a broad land-use and policy framework for the development of the Craigavon Borough up to the year 2010.

The town centre boundaries and related retail designations proposed in the Draft Craigavon Area Plan, published in April 2000, were not confirmed and do not form part of the adopted Craigavon Area Plan.

Other designations and land-uses identified in the Adopted Craigavon Area Plan 2010, and to which any potential town centre developments should have particular regard, include Development Opportunity Sites, Flood Pondage Areas and Existing Open Space.
